Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup red Swedish fish
- 1 cup blue raspberry sour belt candy, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup white yogurt-covered raisins or white chocolate chips
- 1 cup red and blue gummy bears
- 1/2 cup red licorice bites (like Twizzlers bites)
- 1/2 cup blue rock candy clusters, roughly broken
- 1/2 cup white pearlized gumballs or white Jordan almonds
- 1/4 cup red, white, and blue confetti sprinkles or star-shaped sprinkles
- 1/2 cup strawberry Starbursts, unwrapped and quartered
- 1/4 cup blue Jolly Rancher hard candies, roughly crushed (optional for crunch)
Instructions
- Unwrap and prep all candies — cut sour belts into 1-inch pieces, quarter Starbursts, and roughly crush Jolly Ranchers if using.
- Add all candies to a large clear glass mixing bowl: Swedish fish, gummy bears, sour belt pieces, licorice bites, Starburst pieces, rock candy, yogurt raisins, and gumballs.
- Gently toss with a large wooden spoon or clean hands until the candy colors are evenly distributed throughout the bowl.
- Scatter red, white, and blue confetti sprinkles over the top and add crushed Jolly Ranchers for extra crunch and sparkle.
- Serve immediately in the bowl with small scoops or tongs for easy grabbing at parties — or portion into individual clear cups for a grab-and-go treat.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, consider adding some fresh strawberries or blueberries.
